01 Scavenger Hunt

1:The dominant part is the on the left side and is right beside the subordinate part 2:The subdominant part is on the right side 3:The subordinate part is in the middle and is surrounded by different element.

Requirements: Design a composition that represents a keyword by using 3 to 5 elements.

Description: I must create a compositions out of 3-5 elements that has a concept.

Concept : The keyword I chose is health.

I believe that health is the most important aspect in our lives, and it needs to be treated with love.

Keywords: Health CooperationU nity Progress: I was inspired by the pandemic in 2020. COVID -19 lead to a lot of people uniting and countries uniting. So, I had the idea use objects that represnet the current pandemic such as a facemask and a stethoscope. To include unity in my composition I used a globe and to include love I thought about using a heart because love is mostly presented as a heart.

Feedback:

The composition shouldn’t be symmetrical, and I should have used a different background to make the composition clearer Reflection:

This was my first assignment, and I was enthused to start working. I was amazed by the idea to express keywords in physical form.

02 Rectilinear Forms

1: The dominant part is the base and the main part of the building 2: the subdominant part is a rectangle 3: the subordinate is directed in a different direction as the other two elements to break the ice and show confusion.

Requirements: Built three different models of plasticine. Each one should have its own concept.

Description: I must create three different plasticine models out of three elements that each have different concepts. Then I have to choose and improved model and designed to a build

Concept : confusion Progress: My second concept is confusion. I also started by brainstorming and drawing a sketch. And I though that confusion is something that doesn’t have any order, hence I decided to place the three different parts in completely different directions.

As one can see the different rectilinear planes are placed in a confusing order

Feedback: The feedback that I have received on this model was that I should place the subdominant part on top of the dominant part and vertically and that I should work on my workmanship.

Reflection: Here we can see my first attempt of creating Plasticine models. Obviously, my workmanship wasn’t that create, but I managed to learn a lot of form this assignment and I managed to improve this in future assignments 10

02 Rectilinear Forms Requirements: Built three different models of plasticine. Each one should have its own concept.

1: The dominat part is the base and the start of a dream 3: the subdominat part represnets a flaf which is the dream itself 2: The subordinate part is the path which leads to achiving dreams

Description: I must create three different plasticine models out of three elements that each have different concepts. Then I must choose and improved model and designed to a build The concept for this model is ambition.

The dominant part is the start of someone making the decision to have a goal. The subordinate part is the second step. When one starts working to achieve his or her goal and the subdominant part represents a flag which is the goal itself

Progress: First, I though about creating a concept that represents me and I decided to choose ambition. Then I made a sketch to transform this idea to a plasticine model

I was inspired by stairs since they go upwards and someone who is ambitious always tries to fin a way to succeed. 1 I decided to design a flag to illustrate the goal.

Feedback: The comments I have received on this model were that the model is symertrical from one side and that I should work on my workmanship.

Reflection: Here we can see my first attempt of creating platicine models. Obvously my workmanship wasn’t that creat, but I manged to learn a lot form this assigment and I managed to improve this in futrue assigments.

1: The dominate part is the base and the start of a dream 3: the subdominant part represents a flag which is the dream itself 2: The subordinate part is the path which leads to achieving dreams

Requirements: Built three different models of plasticine. Each one should have its own concept.

Description: I must create three different plasticine models out of three elements that each have different concepts. Then I have to choose and improved model and designed to a build

Concept : This model represents safety the three rectangles are suurounding the smaller rectangel as if they are protecting it.

Feedback: The problem with this

plasticine model was that it is symmetrical and that there is no dominant, subdominant and subordinate. Most of the parts have the same size.

Reflection: Progress: My concpet is protection so I drew a sketch to collect ideas and I decided to build on small rectangl that that is surrounded by three bigger regtangels

Here we can see my first attempt of creating Plasticine models.

Obviously, my workmanship wasn’t that create, but I managed to learn a lot of form this assignment and I managed to improve this in future assignments.

03 Rectilinear Development

1: This is the dominate part the main part of the building 2: This is the sub dominate part which is covered in wood and directed in another direction to express confusion.. One could say that the wooden part is another building on top of the dominant part. 3: This is the subordinate part which is an extended section for the building

Requirements: Choose one of the Rectilinear plasticine models and design a building.

Description: I must create three different plasticine model out of three elements that have each different concept. Then one will be chosen and improved and them designed to a build

Progress: This is the chosen and improved model.

Concept: The model that represents confusion was transformed into an art museum.

People can go and look at art pieces that represent confusion as the building does

I drew a sketch in order to brainstorm and decided to build a building out of freeboard. This building represents confusion; hence one part should be out of a different material. I decided to make the subdominant part out of wood.

Feedback: I should have developed the model exactly like the plasticine model, since I missed building a part.

The missing part is down below.

Reflection: Here we can see my first application. This was a special task because we were allowed to work with materials of our choosing. This assingment allowed be to unleash my creative potential.

04 Curvilinear

The subdominant part is the sphere, and it represents the rich people. The subordinate part is the pathway to the sphere and the cylinder is the base and the dominant.

Requirements: : Create 2 Curvilinear models with plasticine that contradict eacho ther.

Description: I must create two compositions out of plasticine that have opposing claims

Concept: This composition represents the rich people, who have money and power. That is why I decided to build a big sphere that represents rich people.

The subdominant part represents how the rich people get richer and use corruption in order to make their way to the top.

Feedback: One could not see the shapes and the shapes should not be melted together.

Not neat enough.

Reflection: This was my frist assigment creating palsticine models in curvilinear froms. It proved to be very diffucult.

04 Curvilinear

The dominant part is the sphere and it represents poor people The subordinate part is the pathway to the sphere and the cylinder is the dominant part. .

Requirements: : Create 2 Curvilinear models with plasticine that contradict eachother.

Description: I must create two compositions out of plasticine that have opposing claims

Concept: This second composition represents the poor people. Who were born poor therefore, they only have few chances to make money. The subordinate part shows that the ones who were born poor don’t have the chance to make money easily.

Feedback: One could not see the shapes and the shapes should not be melted together.

Not neat enough. The model should not be the same model, but smaller in size.

Reflection: This was my first assigment creating palsticine models in curvilinear froms. It proved to be very diffucult.

25

04 Curvilinear

The model is directed upwards. The cylinder (the dominant part)represents the backbone of the model because it is the base and there is no success without basics. The sphere (subdominant) is the pathway to success which has many different pathways. The cone (subordinate) completes the final look of success

Requirements: : Create 2 Curvilinear models with plasticine that contradict eachother.

Description: I must create two compositions out of plasticine that have opposing claims

.

Concept: Success Prosses: since this assgment was a redo I was more familiar with the assigment.

First, I started off with a sketch to be able to recreate it as a plasticine model. I also researched a lot about pictures that represent or are realted to success.

Feedback: The feeback I have recvied was that I should work more on my workmanship.

Reflection: I managed to improve my workmanship a lot since this was a redo. My second attempt of this assingement had a clear structure because I have learned a lot from my fist attempt.

26

27

04 Curvilinear

The subordinate parts construction is not stable and lead to the downfall of the cylinder. The cylinder the dominant part was dependent on the week base, so it failed. The sphere (subordinate) had the opportunity to succeed however it failed due to the weakness of the base.

Requirements: : Create 2 Curvilinear models with plasticine that contradict eachother.

Description: I must create two compositions out of plasticine that have opposing claims

.

Concept: Failure Process: In this part of the assignment, I created two drafts.

This was my first draft. I realized that it was not stable enough, so I rearranged the components of it.

Feedback: The feeback I have recvied was that I should work more on my workmanship.

Reflection: I managed to improve my workmanship a lot since this was a redo. My second attempt of this assingment had a clear structure because I have learned a lot from my fist attempt.

Requirements: Build one model that includes both rectilinear and curvilinear forms. We had to choose a concept and include 5 - 7 elements Description: I must create a composition out of 5 to 7 elements out of rectilinear and curvilinear forms.

Concept protection Process: I started by creating a sketch to gather ideas about protection and how I can transform this concept into a plasticine model. I decided to draw a sphere as a center that is surrounded by different objects. They are but it in a way that looks like they are protecting it.

.

Feedback: The feedback that I have received for the recri/curvi assignment was that I have improved the workmanship. It was also said that I can do better.

Reflection: This assingment was very exiting because we had the opportunity to combine both rectlinear and curvilnear froms in one model. I manged to improve my workmanship a lot from previous assignments .

05 Artwork, draft 1 Requirements: Choose an artwork and transform it into a 3D model.

Description: I must choose one out of the given artworks and build three different drafts. The artworks are presented in 2D and I must create a 3D model

Process: I did a lot of sketches in order to gather a lot of ideas before starting with the model. I thought about the materials I’d use and the colors.

I used foam to represent the circle and wood to represent the base in the artwork.

Feedback: My model was not 3 dimentional enough and I should let wooden parts go through my model The back is too boring.

Reflection: This was my second application. I manged to be more creative and I had the courage to use more complicated matrials such as wood.

Prosses: I did a lot of sectches on order to gather a lot f ideas before starting with the model. I thought about the materials I’d use and the colors.

In my first draft I was told that the model is not 3 dimentional enough, so i decided to extend the parts shown below to make them go through the back and bulid a mirror image on the back.

I also bought wood and cut them in order to have objects that go through the model and make the model more 3D

Feedback: This was my second application. I manged to be more creative and I had the courage to use more complicated matrials such as wood. In mt final draft I had the courage to use more wood that goes through the model

I decided to cut the two parts out of the cylinder and place them on top of it as if they are touching the plasticine model

Requirements: In this assignment I was asked to cut forms out of a plasticine model and put them together in an abstract way.

Progress: I decided to create a cylinder from and cut two parts out of it. I decided to cut out both rectelinear and curvilinear froms.

Feedback: My feedback on this assingment was poor workmanship. The model is also to big and there are to many blank space that make the model appear boring Reflection: This was a classwork assigment and it turned out to be more diffuclt than expeted since it was very hard to cut the forms out in a neat way.

1:The dominant part is the base of the splash and the main part.

2:The subdominant part is the splash on the right 3; The subordinate part is the splash on the top which is the smallest splash.

Requirements I need to look for a picture on the internet that represents a motion, analyze the movement and create a planer composition Description: I must create a composition out of 5 to 7 elements out of rectilinear and curvilinear forms.

Prosses:

While working on this assingment, I tried to separate the watersplashes in different parts in order to be able to design and create similar splashes.

Concept: Motion of waterspalsh

Feedback: I shouldn’t have used geometrical forms as I used a circle that is the base of the model. I also should have stuck more to the rules.

Reflection: In the planer assingment I was very satified with the way I was able to approximate water using different shades of spray paint. I learned how to use metal sheets and create froms with them.

For this composition I used 2 straight lines, one spiral, on directional and a reverse curve.

Requirements: Form the wire in an abstract form using 2 lines and 4 curves or 6 curves

Description: I must take a wire that is 90-100cm long and shape it in an abstract way using the given curves,

Feedback: My feedback on my first trial was that the composition was to two dimantional. I managed to fix this in my second trial.

Prosses: This is my first trial.

I didn’t like the workmanship on my first trial. In class we had the opportunity to create a second composition. In the second composition I managed to improve my workmanship.

Reflection: This assignment was something that I have never done before. I learned how to improve my workmanship by creating two different compositions.

For this composition I used 2 straight lines, one spiral, one directional and one neutral and one reverse curve.

Requirements: Form the wire in an abstract form using 2 lines and 4 curves or 6 curves

Description: I must take a wire that is 90-100cm long and shape it in an abstract way using the given curves,

Feedback: My feedback on the bonus assingment was that I shouldn’t have used a red wire.

Prosses: I started this assgment by creating a sketch to be able to create an abdtact compostion and to have an idea about which curves I will use.

Drawing a sketch gave me a great vison and mad it easier for me to create the composition

Reflection: This was my bonus assignment. I decided to chose this assignment because this is where I have received my highest grade. I was amazed by the abstraction one can create with wires.

The wire is the subdominant part, and it represents a man who is cycling. The two wheels and the metal sheets are the dominant part. The bike is the main tool that defines the sport. The metal sheets represent airflow. And the subordiant part is the ramp that holds the trophy.

Requirements: choose a sport and build a trophy that includes the tools used in the sport.

Description I had to build two drafts for the trophy assignment and analyze a sport. I had to analyze the movement, position and look for the tools used.

Concept: Cycling trophy

Prosses: Since the first draft was one dimentional, I decided to lift the upper part up and rotate the bike. I also used metal sheets to represent airflow.

The figure I created with the wire wasn’t apstract enough, so i decided to redo it and create figure that looks less like a human being.

Feedback: The Model is 2 dimantional and too linear

Reflection: this was my thrid application and I was engourage to use even more complicated materials such as a plastic pipe and metal sheets. I found satisfying use gold spray paint to make my model look like a real trophy.

The three white pyrimds represent the pyramids of giza. The two pyramids in the front represent the smaller pyramids and the orange color reprents the sand.

Requirements I need to look for a picture on the internet that represents a motion, analyze the movement and create a planer composition Description: I must create a composition out of 5 to 7 elements out of rectilinear and curvilinear forms.

Feedback: The model should be one part. It sbould not be drvided into three parts.

Progress: since we only had one draft, i decided to take a piece of paper before starting on my final model. My first trial is down below.

I realized that the gaps vetween each cut were too big, so I decided to make a second model that includes smaller cuts. I used this model as a guidline for the final model.

I also wanted to recreate the to pyramids in the front, so I decided to bulid a first draft with paper that is down below.

Reflection: This assingment was a thrilling new expierence since I have never learned to cut froms out of a piece of paper. After a lot of practice, I manged to cut the forms in a neat way

12 Landmark

I decided to use two different geometrical forms to represent Oscar Niemeyer’s use of simple lines and geometrical forms. The two forms are positions beside each other to create balance.

Requirements: Build a landmark that should be placed in Egypt that has a concept and the style of a chosen architect.

Description: We were divided into groups of four to discuss our architect.

Everyone chose a certain building as an inspiration for his own landmark.

Progress: For my frist draft I decided to bulid two towers in a platfrom. They should present simple lines and geometrical forms.

Concept: My building represents a man and a women dancing to increase equality in Egypt. My landmark should be placed in Tahrir square because there are lot of people there.

My main goal was to improve and work on the feedback I have received. My problem was that my model does not represent balance as the congress of brazil does, so I created a sketch

For my second draft I used the same rectilinear form in the right side of the building and a cone on the left side.

Feedback: Still no balance achieved because the rectilinear form is bigger than the cone therefore it is heavier.

The bottom part should have a ramp so people can access the landmark.

Reflection: I was very exited about the final draft. We had to do three different drafts wich gave me the opportunity to recive a lot of feedback before the final submisson. This gave me the possibility to work on my comments and submit an improved result.

12 Landmark

I decided two use two different geometrical forms to represent Oscar Niemeyer’s use of simple lines and geometrical forms. The two forms create balance since they are beside each other. One cone is taller, and the other cone is thicker. Hence, they create balance. The left cone is in white and represents a women dancing and the right cone us black and represents a man in a suit.

Requirements Build a landmark that should be placed in Egypt that has a concept and the style of a chosen architect.

Description: I must build the final draft working on the feedback I have received for my first and second draft.

Progress: For my final draft I decided t draw a sketch that included two different cone. One inverted cone and one placed normally.

Concept: My building represents a man and a women dancing to increase equality in Egypt. My landmark should be placed in Tahrir square because there are lot of people there.

I also wanted to create balance between the two cones.

The idea was that one cone should be taller and thinner and the other cone should be shorter and thicker, but they should look like they are the same size.

In order to be able to do that I had to create many cones. I failed a lot, but I managed to bulid the right sizes after many trials.

Feedback: The landmark is too big in reality.

Reflection: I was very exited about the final draft. We had to do three different drafts wich gave me the opportunity to recive a lot of feedback before the final submisson.

This gave me the possibility to work on my comments and submit an improved result.
